Hard to recommend without knowing more on tastes, budget, duration or whether kids are in tow etc. Apologies - and very fair point. Guess I’d focussed on the features of St Ives itself that we liked, but you are right that some places will be better suited to different situations. On one of your questions, we’ve got a two year old daughter - so will be three for the next holiday - and one drawback of St Ives is that it doesn’t seem to have a single swing, slide, or really any form of child play other than the beach... bit like kids don’t need entertaining! Duration wise we’re probably looking at two weeks, whilst in terms of budget I guess everywhere has cheaper and expensive places so am sure we could find somewhere in budget if we find the right area... Will have a look at Sidmouth and Pembrokeshire as they are both areas I hadn’t looked at yet - thanks for the suggestions.

We go to Cornwall every summer with the kids and stay at a place called Hendra in Newquay ( https://www.hendra-holidays.com/), its a families only caravan place .. the bigger caravans are more like apartments and you can park right in front of them. From there we do day excursions further into Cornwall and out to Devon. Going to St Ives for a day trip, its much better (more scenic and leisurely) parking up at St Erth and getting the train in. https://greatscenicrailways.co.uk/lines/st-ives-bay-line/

I'm keeping an eye on this as we're going to Pol Perro in July for a week. Never been to Cornwall before and certainly had to up the usual budget. Our car parking slot is "within a short walk" of where we are staying.
